Grinder Avoids Trouble

[user66118]

In a three-way pot, the flop shows up {2-Spades}

{2-Spades}

{4-Hearts}

{K-Diamonds}

. Michael Mizrachi is first to act in the small blind, and he leads out with 20,000 chips. The player next to act counts out a raise and makes it 55,000 total. The third man folds, and it's back to The Grinder.

He tanks for a few minutes, counting out his chips and shooting a glance across the table at his opponent. Finally, he does let his cards go, as he open-mucks {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

. His opponent nods, pauses for a minute to consider, then shows up his {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{K-Spades}

as he pulls in the pot.

Grinder does well to keep his foot out of the bear trap there, and he still has 190,000 chips to play with as a result.
